February 27, 20232 yr Texas remains #10 in the NET this morning, entering the last week of Big 12 play. Baylor is #31, so they are 1 spot below a Quad 1 game. KSU is #65, so that finale in Manhattan is Quad 1. A 2-0 week would give us a regular season winning record in Quad 1 (7-6) and a 9-1 Quad 2 record. Texas, as a team, only has 8 Quad 3/4 games, which speaks to the strength of their schedule. For example: LSU has 13 Q3/Q4 games (8 Quad 4 games!!!), SC/Maryland have 10, Stanford/ND/Iowa have 9. The committee would have to note that of our 6 Quad 1 losses, 3 were without Rori in November (@UConn, Louisville, Marquette) and 1 was without Morris (@ISU). At the moment, our sole Quad 2 loss is USF (#32 at home) unless they move up a couple spots, as Tech is still hovering as a Quad 1 loss (#75 on the road). Our record, to be honest, looks more like two different eras, November (3-3) and December to February (19-4). Aka, without Rori and with Rori. Edited February 27, 20232 yr by Js1

February 27, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Js1 said: Texas’ senior day graphic only lists Masudi and Anissa. What’s up with that? Anissa listed as a senior, Femme as a junior, Sonya and Shaylee as grad students, but my understanding was Shaylee had one year of eligibility left and Sonya none. Is that all correct? Not getting the senior day graphic at all.
February 27, 20232 yr Maybe Sonya has a year left. My goodness, Texas could be absolutely loaded next year.
February 27, 20232 yr Just now, Rickylovesweed said: Maybe Sonya has a year left. My goodness, Texas could be absolutely loaded next year. I don’t think she does. Maybe since she did senior day at DePaul, she doesn’t want another one?
February 27, 20232 yr I would prefer Sonya to return since she's been in Vic's system for a year but I also think Texas can easily find a replacement at guard (if not an upgrade) in the portal. My guess is there will be more attrition too. It will be interesting to see what happens with Mwenentanda because Texas will have two "wings" returning in Muhammad/Holle plus they're bringing in a top 15 recruit at that position.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Mwenentanda because Texas will have two "wings" returning in Muhammad/Holle plus they're bringing in a top 15 recruit at that position. I just don't see how Morris has any eligibility left. She played 4 years at DePaul (3 countable seasons) and one at Texas. That's 4 countable seasons. No injury history for a medical RS, like Shaylee can use next year (and likely is, since she isn't included today either). I think Jak sticks. 6'2 guards don't come through often and she's still adjusting to big girl ball, after playing in South Dakota. It's very likely, at the moment, we go into the season with 9 players who aren't going through injury rehabs or potential redshirts - Rori, Shaylee, Jak, Muhammad, Jones, Gaston, Faye, Holle, Booker. Maul, Moore and Codio are question marks for when they'll be ready to ball and Boutilier has to prove she has the conditioning to play (potential RS). Hunter is donezo. Kudos to Vic for honoring her scholarship this year, but she's hobbling this team's depth sitting in the stands. That's 13 players, so Vic can go find a Morris-type of scorer that can also play backup PG and keep a scholly open, as he usually does.
February 27, 20232 yr Texas jumps up to 12th in the AP poll. Very much in line with NET (10) and our previous committee ranking (13). Finally. OU drops to 16. ISU is 23.
February 27, 20232 yr Pebley is stepping down after the season. Not a surprised, outside of a pretty miraculous 2nd place regular season finish in 2020, TCU is ass. A competent coach or highly regarded assistant will see a good opportunity with Texas and OU leaving and Joni Taylor doing nothing to aggy. Pick up some of those 2nd tier players in the state when you’re just battling Tech, Baylor and OSU for them and become a top 4 or 5 team in the new Big 12
February 27, 20232 yr Based on the number of players missing games, there can't be many teams (if any teams) that had worse injury luck this season. If Vic leads this team to a Big 12 title it's one of the best coaching jobs I've seen. This team hasn't been healthy all year and has missed 2 potential starters for a huge chunk of the Big 12 season.
February 28, 20232 yr Apparently we have a “chance” to end Baylor’s regular season streak. I mean, either us or OU is going to lol.
February 28, 20232 yr Sloppy sloppy. Baylor is running the ISU gameplan of zone Colleen’s misdirection of cuts and screens is confusing us
February 28, 20232 yr Keep going inside to Jones. Baylor doesn’t have 6’4 and Shaylee is on the bench with 2 fouls
February 28, 20232 yr Turnovers are becoming a problem for us. And so is Littlepage-Buggs We are starting to rebound with more intensity. Need to keep this a tied or 2 point game at half and make big adjustments
February 28, 20232 yr Defense isn't great right now but Baylor is also hitting everything. You have to think they will eventually cool off.

February 28, 20232 yr Just now, OU Sucks said: These refs are garbage Very unimpressed. Letting Baylor play bully down low on us when we are on offense
February 28, 20232 yr Just now, Rickylovesweed said: Jesus, everything falling. Absolute brick hits the back and falls in. Did Baylor bring their rims? Jesus
February 28, 20232 yr This officials have missed a bunch of calls on whose ball it is 37-32 Baylor at the half. Lots of work to do, defensively
February 28, 20232 yr We're just tired. Our attempts to get the ball in the post are lazy, and Baylor is getting easy steals off the attempts. Texas needs to use adrenaline in the second half and find a way to win

Texas needs to use adrenaline in the second half and find a way to win Well this team needs to remember that the NCAA tournament is 1 day break between games. Tired isn’t an excuse or you’re out quickly
February 28, 20232 yr They only have 3 turnovers and are shooting 53%. Hard to keep up with that kind of efficiency, that has got to change.
February 28, 20232 yr Vic was steaming mad at the refs heading into the locker room. Surprised he didn't get a T. He thinks Rori is getting fouled.

February 28, 20232 yr JFC Rori, can’t even inbound the ball And Shaylee picks up 3. This team is about to unravel
February 28, 20232 yr Just now, Rickylovesweed said: Nothing going right in this game. Just like the ISU game, they shoot when they’re open. We keep passing up shots
February 28, 20232 yr Need Taylor Jones back in the game. Need her offense inside. Get this to around 3 or 4 heading to the 4th.
